Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00246
The Deer Creek Irrigation District Fish Passage Project Implementation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00246) is a discretionary Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant focused on natural resources work that improves fish passage and protects sensitive cultural and environmental resources at the Deer Creek Irrigation District diversion dam. The diversion dam dates back to the early 1900s and supports irrigation deliveries to more than 1,000 acres of farm and ranch lands. A long-running planning effort has been underway since 2008, during which Fish and Wildlife Service staff partnered with local landowners and water diverters, engineers, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to design and permit a fish ladder and fish screen project intended to reduce impacts to fish moving through the system.
A central purpose of this federal funding is to address a problem that surfaced during required cultural resource surveys completed under the National Historic Preservation Act. Those surveys identified previously unanticipated Native American village sites and endangered species habitat in areas that would have been affected by planned construction access roads. As a result, the project needs changes to its construction logistics, especially the realignment of construction roads, so that implementation can proceed without damaging culturally important sites or sensitive habitat. In addition to road realignment, the opportunity also supports fish screen construction and covers costs tied to an extended project timeline, including the irrigation and maintenance needed to establish and sustain vegetation associated with the work.
The grant is positioned as a complementary piece of a larger, multi-funder construction effort rather than the sole funding source. CDFW is expected to contribute approximately $2.4 million for major construction costs once permits are completed (noted as scheduled for completion by June 2019). The federal award is described as a smaller portion of the overall budget, but it is framed as critical for keeping the project on track in a way that maintains interagency coordination and preserves trust with the local community by proactively avoiding cultural and ecological harm.
The opportunity includes the possibility of future increments if additional funds become available, meaning the award could potentially be expanded to support more elements of the overall fish passage and diversion modernization effort. The listed potential increment activities include excavation and lining of the irrigation ditch, fish screen installation, environmental mitigation and protection measures, construction of a juvenile fish bypass, and acquisition and installation of a regulating gate. In other words, while the immediate need is to adjust construction access and cover specific implementation and maintenance costs, the grant is also structured to potentially help complete additional components that improve fish protection and operational control of the irrigation infrastructure.
Administratively, the program is categorized under CFDA number 15.648 and is open to eligible applicants that include special district governments and qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was created on June 17, 2019, with an original closing date of July 1, 2019. The award ceiling is $740,000, and the agency anticipated making one award, indicating a targeted, project-specific investment rather than a broad competitive program with multiple recipients.Apply for F19AS00246
